Big time players show up in big time games

Isn’t the bucs offensive line supposed to suck because of injuries? This has always been the knock on Burns, he’s a one trick pony, undersized DE who isn’t good against the run. The fact people can say that he’s worth keeping over 2 first round picks is insane. Once he gets his contract he’s going to be taking up a lot of cap space.

If he's so poo why are teams offering those picks?

This has been explained to you guys ad nauseum

He's a GREAT player ... but NOT one of the top tier guys in the NFL. He's right under that tier. We made a massive mistake not getting picks we need for our future for him.

Teams offer lots of picks for bad players all the time. Are you really that ignorant? The math is simple, possibly two great players for one player who is a one trick pony. I never said he was poo, just that he’s not as great at many say. Maybe he would be better in a 3-4 LB role.

At least he suited up. Horn missed the game per usual and we got smoked through the air.

I realize it is frustrating but he broke his wrist.  He didn’t sit out just cuz he felt like it.

Yeh, Horn should have played after just breaking his freaking wrist….LOL

He is a very replaceable player on our defense. Luvu and others have shined and shown up in more big time moments this season than Burns has. There is still a chance he is dealt this offseason although I don't see us getting the original haul we could have gotten.

He is NOT worth franchising or handing out monster $$ too. Maybe if our defense was more complete it'd be nice to have a guy like that but he is 1000000000000% not someone you build your defense around

I like Burns. But I admit that not taking those picks was a mistake. I don't think he's worth paying like one of the best pass rushers on the league and that's what we'll be faced with doing.

Yeah, I think if we called the Rams asking if that deal was still on the tables they'd laugh and be like nah, we sobered up since then.

Yea we're in a tough spot if we can't get at least a 1st. Anything less would feel really bad but it's better than handing out a max contract that pays him like a top 5 DE or letting him go for nothing.  Will be interesting to see what happens

Was I the only one noticing him being chipped and doubled on damn near every obvious passing down? Tampa game planned him out of the game - to their credit.
